COMING SOON ON THE IP CHAT CHANNEL™: EXPLORING THE SCOPE OF ECOFACTOR V. GOOGLE
Join the IP Chat Channel™ on Wednesday, April 15 at 1:00pm ET for a webinar that will focus on last May’s decision in EcoFactor v. Google that has been widely recognized for its discussion of district courts’ gatekeeping role under Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and Daubert, especially in relation to expert testimony regarding patent damages. This panel, which includes PAUL BERGHOFF (McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP), BRIAN HORNE (Knobbe Martens), and JASON LISS (Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP) will examine the potential impact of EcoFactor in relation to issues the en banc court did not specifically address, such as apportionment.
